Throughout the year, students have the opportunity to attend these interactive seminars, delving into subjects such as resilience, goal setting, personal branding, fear management, and the art of influencing others. The seminars provide valuable insights and practical strategies shared by experienced leaders, enhancing students’ leadership skills and perspectives.
